Chapter 238: Rescuing the Princess
The group stopped instantly, and turned their heads to look in the direction of Shangguan Ling.
A group of people came from the path outside the woods, and when they saw this group of people in armor, they knew that they were the emperor's own soldiers and sixteen guards.
The leader is Shangguan Yinling.
He was dressed in blue and stood out in the crowd.
"It's really Shangguan Yuling." The bandit who said this said this in a somewhat timid tone, "I really don't know what the boss thinks, Shangguan Yinling is not the head of the Special Case Division, and he asked him to deliver the ransom, if he uses some kind of trick to steal the beam and change the pillar, not only will the ransom not be paid, but we will be served in a pot, wouldn't it be too worthless." ”
"You know the." Another person scolded, "Shangguan Yuling is in front of us, if we can't fight him, we can't fight him even more if he hides in the shadows, and letting him deliver the ransom is the safest strategy." ”
"But looking at him, I'm more or less scared......"
"Look at your useless cowardice!" Another scolded, "If the boss hears this, you will die." ”
As the two men spoke, they looked back into the hidden place, where a group of men in black were looking at them.
"We are the life of hard work, after a while, the boss and they got the gold, so they slipped away with the gold, let's attract the attention of Shangguan Yinling in front, maybe they are all arrow targets, how much do you say this is not worth it!"
"What, you still have a way? If you don't target your arrow, the boss will kill you with a sword right now. ”
The two of you complained one by one, and Shangguan Yuling had come to the front unknowingly.
"Shangguan Yinling! Three million taels of gold can be brought?! ”
The bandit led by him stepped forward and asked in a loud voice.
"Brought." Shangguan Yinling waved his hand slightly, and the sixteen guards behind him carried several large wooden boxes forward one by one, and when the wooden boxes were opened, they were all full of golden ingots.
"Three million taels of gold are all here."
Several of the bandits stared at the gold, their eyes almost straightening.
It turned out that this was three million taels of gold, and only Emperor Daliang could afford this ransom.
"You guys, go up and carry the gold to our wagon! Send to the back and boss joints. ”
"We can just pull their carriage away, why bother?"
"You know the! What if they do something? Of course, our own carriage is the safest. ”
Several men went out to carry the wooden chests containing gold to their own carriage, pulled the carriage to the back, and took the head of the man in black who was hidden in the shadows.
"Everyone, the gold is already in your hands, you can send Princess Mozhu back." Shangguan Yin Ling looked at the bandits opposite.
"Shangguan Yinling, do you think we are fools? Now hand over Princess Mozhu to you, neither we nor the gold can keep it. The bandit raised half of his scarred eyes, "We and Jin are going out of the city, and when we get out of the city and get to a safe place, we will naturally release Princess Mozhu." ”
"How do you guarantee that you won't take the gold with the princess?" Shangguan Yinling sat on the back of the horse and asked in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, my lord, although what we are doing is to rob the house, but we are also trustworthy, we will naturally return it to you, and we are only here for money. Besides, you don't have a choice. ”
"Okay, I promise you."
Shangguan Yinling lowered her eyes and looked at Princess Mo Zhu, her expression was calm, and there was some relief in her eyes, indicating that she didn't need to be afraid.
Princess Mo Zhu's heart, which was still afraid, actually settled down like this at this moment.
She can trust Shangguan Tongmen, and he will definitely be able to rescue her.
A group of bandits withdrew from the city gate with Princess Mozhu, and Shangguan Yinling and Lu Li followed closely with people.
Out of the city gate, the people who transported the gold and the people with Princess Mozhu walked in two teams, and Shangguan Yinling did not care about the gold, but led people to follow the other team.
"My lord, looking at the way these bandits are submissive to the person who transported the gold, it is expected that the person who took the gold is their leader." Lu Li turned his head and reminded quietly.
Shangguan Yinling nodded, his expression slightly gloomy.
He saw this, but it was a pity that they did not assign Gong Chengqi, who had the highest martial arts, to the first team to look for gold with Old Man Zhou, so it seemed that the old man might be in danger.
"Send someone back to report the news, find Lu Chenghe for help, and help the old man and them find gold."
The old man's martial arts with Emamata are not too high, and the people he brings are all the personal soldiers of the Sixteen Guards, and it is okay to deal with ordinary bandits, but if he has higher martial arts, I am afraid it will be a lot more difficult, and he must find someone to help.
Lu Li nodded, slowed down slightly, and found a clever one, asking him to go back to Taixue to find Lu Chenghe for help.
When they arrived outside the city, these people began to speed up the pace of their horses, and Shangguan Yinling and others rode to catch up.
"I've already released you outside the city, you can keep your promise and release Princess Mozhu, right?"
"This is easy to do, as long as Lord Shangguan asks people to wait here, I will put Princess Mozhu by the river after I get out of Erli, but you can take the princess back."
"Okay." Shangguan Yinling lowered his eyes slightly and agreed to their proposal.
The group walked away, and on the other side, Gong Chengqi and others quickly caught up and outflanked from the trail.
When they were far away, Shangguan Yinling and Lu Li also rode their horses to catch up.
When the group of bandits arrived at the river, one of the bandits looked at Princess Mozhu and said, "Are we really going to release Princess Mozhu?" ”
"Fart, didn't you listen to the boss, only when Princess Mozhu is dead, the diplomatic relations between Daliang and Wuyi can be yellow, aren't we here for this?"
"Aren't we here for gold?"
"You know the! Don't talk nonsense, kill her with one knife and keep up with us. ”
Several people rode ahead, leaving only the bandit and Princess Mozhu behind.
"Princess Mozhu, I'm sorry, I am also acting on orders, when you die, find those people to take revenge, don't look for me."
The man begged for a long time, and Princess Mozhu looked at the knife he raised, shook her head in despair, and closed her eyes.
There was a sound of a sharp weapon sinking into the flesh, and a drop of blood dripped on Princess Mozhu's face, and she raised her head in surprise, and the bandit fell in front of her.
She turned around, Gong Chengqi and the others ran over quickly, and the group rode their horses to catch up with the bandits in front, and Duan Lang stayed behind to untie Princess Mozhu's rope.
"Princess, it's all right."
Fortunately, the senior brother had long known that this group of bandits had no conscience and credibility, and he expected that they would escape from this easiest path in the woods to hide, and let them outflank them from the path, so he stopped them in time.
Princess Mo Zhu stood up and looked at the figure of Shangguan Ling galloping on a horse from a distance, and tears fell suddenly.
